   Fired everyone. They fired everyone in our local sports market in Des Moines . I'm deleting the app and top executives are scum.

2. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Corporate Ruined the Only Good Thing about IHeart Radio. No words can describe how I really feel. I listened to Off the Bench after work for the past 2.5 years now. Corporate cuts for one of the biggest sports radio shows around just doesn’t make sense. Can’t wait to see who makes more $ now at top. Hope it was worth it, won’t download again.

3. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Worst listening and business experience. I listen to a local board cast that covers the news ima national and local level. This program has not only cut off all available to listen to this broadcast but never gave me nor the host a fair warning that this would come about. You would think that a station that says it’s #1 would have the decency to relay all important information to its listeners and customers but yet it did not. I hope the 2018 bankruptcy happens again to you. I will continue to tell me friends, family, and local community to never add this company to their household.

   Ads. Ads gotten ridiculous, while listening, if it stops for a sec, it goes straight to an ad before taking you back to the station, by the time you get sent back to the station, you’ve missed the whole segment. Used it for many years with no issues, these ads are out of control finally deleted it!

5. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Canceled local news. Only local republican news channel canceled. Jon Justice was great for 10+ years. But now iHeart took it away. Deleted app and information.

6. ★★★★★ads disrupt the experience

   Not loving lay offs of seasoned fantastic broadcasters in the Lehigh valley. Limit endless ad loops.. The way you disregard your amazing local broadcasters in the Lehigh Valley is disheartening and disturbing. You can’t tell me that there was no other way to trim costs. Local radio is the heart of small and medium MSAs and you are missing out on loyal listeners that support your sponsors. Lastly, your Ad loop algorithm seems to be endless. Are 5-10 mins of ads really necessary every half hour?

7. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   You’ve lost your minds!!!. I just deleted the app. Your mass firings across the country are disgusting! What to replace morning shows with another syndicated show? Gross! Another example of how the rich (Ryan Seacrest) gets richer and middle America dies.

8. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Lack of local staff and DJs. Since you decided to fire all the local talent on the Erin the Davenport Quad city area I have chosen to delete your app as I will not be listening to any of your stations. If I wanted to hear what was playing in Florida at the same time as what was playing in Maine in California I would’ve gone to SiriusXM.

9. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

   Done. Never listening to this app again. Big thumbs down for taking the soul out of KBCO. Thanks, iHeart-less

10. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Jon Justice. App deleted, only used it to listen to Jon Justice, he was the only one worth listening to and they cancelled him. Good job TDS.

11. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    IHeart hates local radio. These aholes just fired most of the local talent that kept me listening to the local country and talk radio stations. No warning. App is deleted, and I will never tune in to another IHeart station again.

12. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Cancelled local programming in Alaska. I can’t believe your company killed local programming in Alaska.

13. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Love the app, but not North Carolina/Virginia Radio Station. I enjoyed listening to the radio on here, but I’m not too happy about 92.1 The Beat into 92.1 BIN Network… The last radio station that was broadcasting was really good, my everyday radio station, but now it’s replaced with the most worthless station I’ve heard… Nothing but same news everyday, they talk about under circumstances conversations, and it’s making the highest radio tower to be worthless to listen to… But I’d say, NPR is a lot better than BIN

14. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Sucks. Got to many adds now I be making it to my destination before I get a chance to listen to music

15. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Just stops playing. For months now the app has just been stopping after every song that plays. I’ve tried restarting and updating but so far nothing has worked. Update June 2026: I gave up. Even after uninstalling and reinstalling it still doesn’t work. Now it won’t play at all.

16. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Buffers/stalls when others don’t!. Utterly sucks. Buffers/stalls CONSTANTLY! Problem is in the app, not my service. Apps with audio AND VIDEO (YouTube, Amazon) run smooth. Fire your engineers. They should be ashamed

17. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Fix it. You can’t even sign into it on an iPhone because of your stupid security thing Asking me what buses and sidewalks are and not giving me a option to finish

18. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Outside of approved area?!?. This app is a scam and should be taken off the app stores

19. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Paid for add free, but still is not add free.. So I have been trying to put up with this for a while. But after an almost 5 minute long add for a podcast I couldn’t care less about, I am done being nice. I am paying for an “add free subscription” I expect no adds. That means when I open the app (when it doesn’t crash) not to have an add for this station or that artist or this event. When I am listening to a station I don’t want to hear about this “exciting new podcast” about who care what it is about. I want to enjoy the music I am paying to enjoy without adds. Seriously if you are forcing me to listen to or present me with adds, then might as well stop changing me for a service that you definitely do not provide.

20. ★★★★★an update broke a familiar workflow

    The App Sucks! After its most recent update, I have had nothing but crashes. The app fails to load.. The App Sucks! After its most recent update, I have had nothing but crashes. The app fails to load. I hope the sponsors take note. I don’t have time on my job site to mess around with a dial. I found another app that doesn’t give me these problems. Good riddance.

21. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Bad owner!. Less commercials especially the ones that cut into the middle of songs, whoever allowed this should lose their job. Separate from that when you change the station it makes you watch a video(radio apps should never force video play) and if these are not fixed soon I’ll be deleting.

22. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    App repeats. This app has had issues for months and I T refuse to repair or have no clue how to do their job!!!!!

23. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Free FIFA. Says plays all games live on special channel plays basketball after show instead

24. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Access on website. Page is always unavailable 😢😢😢

25. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Good Luck with “Free” Content. Everything you might want here is either gated behind a paywall or doesn’t work properly with buggy, complicated UI smashed between advertisements, and in general is an indecipherably complicated mess of an application.

26. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

    Endless commercial loops. This app stinks. All I want to do is to get in and listen to my local news and you get stuck in endless loops of commercials. When trying to listen to 700 WLW for news back home, all it does is go into commercial after commercial commercial. It has been doing this for a while and it’s not a glitch. This app is it disappointment.

27. ★★★★★subscription and paid restrictions

    Music. They say it’s free, but you can’t even listen to your playlist without paying they throwing random songs that you don’t like when you just wanna listen to the songs you picked out

28. ★★★★★negative experience without a specific reason· unspecific

    Dog water. Trash is such an understatement. Heard great things. Just no. I can barely see the search bar it’s half off the top of my screen.

29. ★★★★★ads disrupt the experience

    8 commercials for every two songs is ridiculous. You get to hear two songs for every 8 commercial is ridiculous. I won’t ever purchase anything from these commercials and hope others refuse to as well. About to delete this app permanently and just go back to iTunes.

30. ★★★★★crashes, freezes and errors

    Stopped Working. I have been using this app on my 2025 Mazda CX 90 Apple Play. From 5/20 to today 5/24/26, the app just will not play. I deleted and reinstalled the app. Signed in and out, but it will not work.
